Manga apparently thinks it wouldn't do well for them. I read this a while ago so it might have changed and it could be false.

Yeah, it's just Manga Entertainment being stupid.
If you want the BD badly, you can import the Korean version. It has subs and the English dub on it.

Not true at all. I adore Gatchaman Crowds. Wonderful, wonderful show.
Unless I have bad taste as well. 
Edit: Make sure to watch the director's cut of the final episode when you reach it.

Yes. I think the only problem with this approach is if the show in question is one that you don't want to end. With the weekly method the conclusion is drawn out so you can savour it. But for some shows I find being able to consume it all at once leaves me feeling melancholic. But I suppose that's where some self control should come into the equation so I should pace myself instead of just watching it all at once.

Well that's disappointing. Not enough of a collector to spend that much money. At least it stings a little less than Darker than Black, where funimation has decided to only release season 2*
Hajime too cute.

I thought it was entertaining enough.
The secret is the OP. It just strings you along.
Seriously. I can't quit this OST. So good.

I've heard about it, so I'm gonna have to dig about to find it.
I mean, I don't know that I'd call it the greatest show in forever but compared to my usual fare of MOTW 40 year old giant robot anime and trash that fuels the hate-fires I must ever keep burning in order to stay alive, it's nice to have something I'm legitimately entertained by.
Dude for reals. This OP is killer. I think because it sort of doesn't sound like a lot of the OPs a lot of other anime I've watched lately have. Like I might catch flak for this, but I was thinking recently how Madoka and Fate/Zero have some of the most generic OPs I've ever heard. I'm not articulate enough to explain why I feel that way, other than that I feel like that those OPs sound a lot like a lot of other OPs.
Anything is probably better than Gankutsuou's OP, though. That song was just off.
Code Geass R2 END
5/5.
10/10.
100/100.
My only regret is that I didn't have the chance to watch this while it was airing.
I might do a longer post later but who am I kidding, how can I sum Geass and my feelings towards it up?
Internet never been the same again since Geass finished, I'll always told the stories.
Milky Holmes TD Promo
There's a faint idol element to the show now (to promote Toys Drive), and the director isn't the same as the first two seasons - Moriwaki is working her magic on PriPara now - but most importantly of all, Milky Holmes are back to being worthless good-for-nothings and the show returns to the GA-esque zonky comedy that made me a fan in the first place.
I'd say it's my most anticipated show of the new season, but that's a disservice to my other most anticipated shows of the season.

What, has animegaf forgotten about IS? Go watch the OVA, now!
There's a new season of Milky Holmes coming? That's great news, so long as the series never ever mentions again the idiocy of "Alternate" and its awful harem element with the teacher guy they all like and stupid serious real-world-genocidal-supervillain garbage or the maybe even WORSE debacle that was We Are Feathers (the real name of the previous season, in my opinion!)... but what you say here sounds promising. The first two seasons were great fun, so I'll watch this for sure. I mean, I watched all of Feathers, so it would have to get pretty unwatchable for me to actually drop it... there are things which would do that, but here's hoping that doesn't happen! Just stick with the fun silly stupid hopelessness of the first two seasons, with awesome over-the-top action once in a while, such as the closing arcs of both of those seasons.

Tessa has a freaking yandere mode. Seriously, I knew this girl could get angry but dang, she almost sounded like a villain in this episode when she spoke to Gauron.
Who unfortunately escapes and gets back to his mecha. Now Sousuke's gotta fight him. When they're on a submarine. Full of his crewmates. Oh man.

Nanatsu no Taizai 9
We get a glimpse at the Sacred Treasures and more sexual harassment happens.
This was about the time when I really started to like this series as it was the first real indication of the Sins' power outside of the standard protagonist. Really showed the potential in how much variety and escalation could come out of the world.
Also, the tournament arc starts.

Saving my anime watching for the second Fall OT thread. Coming to a community forum near you.
If you start the OP now you may have it ready before next year!
I'm not touching the winter thread, I just needed to make the second Fall OT so we could get some democracy going on in here.

If you look up the page a bit you'll surely notice that I don't dislike everything that has a harem in it, of course... but making a not-harem franchise into a harem one is never good. It's not a knee-jerk reaction, it's that by having them all like the same guy they're kind of ruining the characters.
Well, watch it soon then. I'd hope for people to maybe try to answer the questions in my review too, but I imagine that many of them are unanswerable; the OVA is, like the series as a whole, obvious inexplicable nonsense. There's obviously plenty that can be said about it despite that though.

Strike Witches BDs are at an all time low on Rightstuf, 20 bucks for both seasons. It's like paying a few cents per butt shot!

1) Tabane's not really good or evil, just really disruptive and willing to act on a whim.
2) Glancing at the translation of book 8, they were after the unregistered core taken from an unmanned unit to be used in secret American military plans that aren't explained either.

What she does in this OVA seems to go beyond that, though...
Hmm. But I thought that the unregistered core they were talking about is the one from the Silverio Gospel, which isn't unmanned in the LN? What am I missing?

Believe in dragoon cavaliers.
Not gonna happen.
I'd have to sit down and watch it. Guessing it's either a recovered core from episode 9 of S2 or it's a by-product of adaptation where they're taking liberties in the (ultimately unimportant) reason for the Americans to be infiltrating.
Yeah the whole thing is about to be blown wide open. Its all setting up for something and you'll see it quite soon. A whole lot more will come into focus and it wont be pretty.
Anime is now combining titles together I see.
Hmmm. Acceptable.
This art has some Cowboy Bebop vibes to it. I like it.
Dragonball is more a story about the characters leading up to the fighting. DBZ is where the shit got real.
Episode 9 is where
the big boob naked girl dies
I dont see Charles, Laura, or Tatenashi in those pictures. You posted the wrong ones.
I will forgive this mistake.
There was talk of the best female character of the season (with Cross Ange as the catalyst) a few days ago, so I'd like to propose something. The best male character of the season is Leona West from PriPara.
Devoted to his older sister Dorothy (or rather, Dorothy is protective of him), he goes to school in a male uniform and lives the life of an idol in the independent city-state/theme park that is PriPara. While Lala and company were surprised that Leona was a dude at first, now it's accepted and nobody's really bothered by it. If he wants to wear pastel-colored outfits and sing with his sister and Shion, who's going to stop him? He's secure in his identity, and a great friend to everyone, especially Sophie. Breaking down gender roles and being a pretty good singer, on top of that. Tension relax all the way.
Hmmm. Well shes a cutie!
Nice pick ups. Is that the dreaded spindle set or did they repackage Tutu into a less shameful packaging?
You have excellent tastes. Some of those shows are really nostalgic for me!
Especially in the second group.
This tune is beautiful. I have no idea what it reminds me of though.
Did somebody say space lesbians?
It's the spindle unfortunately. Also has a giant block of Styrofoam inside though.
Its horrible what they did to that show. Ill never forgive it ever.
but Chocolat is so cute with her tiny hat, and Mio too)
Even the ones they place on Innocent Smoothies every so often that when purchased part of the proceeds goes to charity?

9 hours 57 minutes
what is this a countdown to doom?
Its Chaika. Even if its bad it has chaika in it
cajun, Chaika is a travesty.
I disagree but season 2 is definitely not as good as the first.
Thats exactly it, I loved S1. I just expected more from S2 and something more similar to the LNs.
Dragoon Cavalier
I'm not too versed in the LNs, but there are some changes. Pretty sure the anime will have an original BONES ending.

From what I know, it didn't go off into a fully original story, but it definitely skipped a lot and added some things that weren't there originally, which isn't to be taken as a good thing in this case.
Also saw a GBF Try spoiler image -
Looks like Nils Nielsen is back this episode, or at least someone who looks a lot like him. RETURN OF CARORIIIIIIIIINE SOON? Because it looks like he married that lol
